In this instance, Jesus appeared to a group of seven disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. Jesus spoke directly to Peter, seeking to understand his heart. Despite Peter's three denials during Jesus' most trying time on earth, he was deeply moved, by 'weeping bitterly.'

Jesus wants us to follow the path he has set before us. He has designed our journey to connect with others whom we encounter, since none of us can be in all places at the same time as God can. Whether we are at a specific school, gym, or grocery store, he wants us to be a light to those we encounter.

Stay the course, because Jesus has our best interests at heart. His love for us is unwavering, demonstrated by his sacrificial commitment on the cross. Today, let this profound love guide you and keep you focused on the path he has set for you. He is with us every step of the way, a testament to his unconditional love. Embrace his love and remain faithful, even when others may not.
